8 hours and 13 minutes to go from the time I write this post.
I’ve been questing in Thousand Needles today, and enjoying my new Riverboat mount, that can only be used here.
The most… painful quest I ever had to do was underwater. I had to recover corpses from mobs that didn’t survive in the cataclysm. I /mourn’d every single one of them.
I know they’re just pixels and file names.. but I still see them as innocent animals. I’ve gotten so used to seeing them. So used to running with my mount across the shimmering sands and visiting the race track when I wasn’t busy elsewhere, and watching the Goblins and Gnomes still racing.
Now it’s like everything is “frozen in time” in 25FT of water. They died where they were, like no one saw it coming. So many innocent lives lost.
I will miss the balancing rocks in Thousand Needles, and the Great Lift. I just can’t see anything good with this. I guess the only thing is the Horde have lost control of Freewind Post.
All of this does is fuel my rage for what Deathwing has done, and swear revenge. But going after him in a blinding rage would mean suicide. I have to focus on the task at hand and get to 85. Even then, me being in the same raid to kill Deathwing is very unlikely.
Even if I was able to land the killing blow on him and sink my axe deep into his skull, it would not undo the damage and death. It has been done. All I can do is mourn and move on.
Deathwing’s rain of terror hasn’t stopped the world, nor has it broken our spirits. It has only made them stronger. The Darkmoon Faire is still going, and soon Winter Veil(Christmas in WoW) will be here. And in … 6 hours and 47 minutes, I’ll fly.
Update: T-3 hours to go! 😀
